Cognitive Dissonance

July 2, 2024

I wish more people would read up about this.

“Cognitive dissonance is a psychological phenomenon that occurs when an individual experiences mental discomfort due to holding conflicting beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors. This tension motivates the person to reduce the dissonance by changing their beliefs, acquiring new information, or minimizing the importance of the inconsistency. Understanding cognitive dissonance is crucial as it influences decision-making, behavior change, and emotional well-being, often prompting individuals to justify or rationalize their actions to achieve internal harmony”
